Pros

How much time do I have? First of all, Maxwell is a benefits-centric organization. The benefits are awesome. 100% health, dental and vision insurance coverage, flexible PTO, fully-stocked kitchen, team dinners out, free massages every monday, off-site company retreats, free T pass, gym membership reimbursement...and, of course, the full Maxwell Health platform, with every awesome resource that entails. Most of our employees were once interns at Maxwell Health. We're growing really fast, and hiring like crazy, but we really invest in the people we hire. The office is right in downtown Boston, with an open layout and a view of Boston Common. Access to public transportation is fantastic. This place is super special. We have a huge mission, a killer strategy, and a revolutionary product that is truly the first of its kind, and we all know it. My coworkers have quickly turned into some of my closest friends. We work really hard, but we play hard too. We have cocktail hours in the office, and we go out as a group at least once a weekend. This is such a fun place to work. Everyone is very smart, very hard working, and very committed to Maxwell's mission. That's a really special combination.

Cons

We're growing really, really fast, which means work-life balance can be tough. This is a very fast-paced environment. I work late hours some nights, but I'm absolutely doing what I love, and I know I can ask for help from any of my coworkers whenever I need it, and unlimited vacation days so I can recharge when I need to. I also know that our management team recognizes and appreciates our commitment and hard work, and that they'll hire people if we can't handle the workload.

Pros

I've worked at a lot of places over the years so I've developed a strong sense of "red flags" over my time. Before I accepted a position at Maxwell I wanted to meet the founders because I've learnt the hard way that the culture of a company generally starts from the top down. Luckily for me the founders at Maxwell are both incredible and honestly, truly, want to build an amazing company that makes benefits better in America. They are both incredibly passionate about Maxwell, and the mission, and they live up to their own values constantly. If you're reading this you probably already know how rare that is, and how often values disappear when money is on the table. This is not the case at Maxwell and it makes me proud to be here. The other big pro (and when it comes down to it what else really matters) are the people at Maxwell. Incredibly smart, hard working, and just downright nice people surround me every day I'm at work and it's a constant pleasure to work with them. Everyone is genuinely committed to doing whatever it takes for our customers and I've witnessed people really going out on a limb to help in any way they can. Oh, and a minor point but we're starting to build up a really strong remote work culture which I personally think is incredibly important.

Cons

I honestly don't have a huge amount to write about here. Our problems are similar to any company of this age and size, some tech debt to fight, struggles to get conference rooms because we've grown so fast, and touchy wifi! Nothing major to complain about.
